The Middle College at Harper Campus

This partnership between Central Piedmont and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is designed for high school juniors and seniors who want to complete their high school graduation requirements while earning college credit through Central Piedmont. This program is for the mature, focused student who is ready for the college environment.

Middle College High Schools are just one of three learning options under the umbrella program of Career & College Promise (CCP) for high school students which allows dual enrollment in both Central Piedmont and CMS. Career and College Promise students also are able to choose a career and technical option called College Transfer Pathway and/or complete an associate degree, tuition-free, at Central Piedmont while they finish high school. To accomplish this, Middle College High School students may remain officially enrolled in high school for the 13th year and continue to take Central Piedmont courses to earn an Associate of Applied Arts or Science degree or a technical certification with which to begin their careers.

The principal of the Middle College at Harper is Gina O'Hare. She may be contacted by email at gina.ohare@cms.k12.nc.us.
